As time passed, he lost count of how many ferocious beasts he had killed.
Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousandsâŚ
His whole body was covered in their blood, to the point where even his vision was obscured by the amount of blood around him.
He was human, after all, so he was already panting heavily, and his arms were trembling.
The true qi in his dantian was almost fully exhausted.
Bang!
A ferocious beast crashed violently into Ye Chen from behind, and the impact caused him to stagger and spit out a mouthful of blood.
By the time Ye Chen reacted, he was instantly drowned out by the sheer number of ferocious beasts.
Ye Chen felt completely helpless. He had never expected that he would end up dying like this.
HoweverâŚ
Soon, he felt that something was wrong.
The ferocious beasts that were all over him seemed to have quieted down and stopped in their tracks.
Even the tremors that shook the ground stopped.
âHuh?â
Ye Chen opened his eyes and realized that Little Gold was no longer on his shoulder.
âLittle Gold?â
Suddenly, he looked up and saw Little Gold floating in the air, its tiny body looking down at the ferocious beasts.
A blood-red light radiated from its body, and its red pupil seemed to be shining.
Right!
Ye Chen suddenly remembered that Little Goldâs bloodline was from the ruler of the ferocious beasts!
All of the beasts submitted!
A few seconds later, Little Goldâs body descended steadily and finally landed on the back of a ferocious beast that was two meters tall.
âCome up. Fortunately, the blood essence in my body can suppress these ferocious beasts. Otherwise, the two of us would have died here.â
Little Gold.
Ye Chen took a step forward and got onto the back of a black lion.
Little Gold also jumped onto Ye Chenâs shoulder.
âWere you scolding me for being unreliable just now?â
Ye Chen was stunned. He smiled awkwardly. âHow is that possible? Little Gold, youâre the most reliable spiritual beast Iâve ever seen.â
Little Gold snorted. âIâm not a spiritual beast. Donât treat me like one. My bloodline is many times nobler than you cultivators.â
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at Little Gold and asked, âWhat should we do next?â These ferocious beastsâŚâ
Little Goldâs lips curled into a sly smile. âOf course weâre going to make a high-profile move. Perhaps your little girlfriend is in deep water right now. Although these beasts arenât very strong, they have the advantage in numbers, and might even be able to crush a Supreme Emperor realm expert. Itâs a pity that we canât bring them out. Otherwise, what reason would we have to fear Han Daoshan?â
âBy the way, where did that person in the Samsara Graveyard ask you to go?â
âBlood Spirit Valley.â
âAlright, letâs go to the Blood Spirit Valley!â
The mighty beast wave was now under Ye Chen and Little Goldâs control.
However, for some reason, Ye Chen did not see another cultivator along the way. Logically speaking, the Blood Spirit Secret Realm was not too big, so he should have encountered a few of them.
âŚ
At the same time, in an ancient stone room, six elders sat cross-legged.
There was a blood-red light around their bodies, which were connected to each other like a thread.
There was a large screen above their heads, which displayed countless images of the geniuses who were participating in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm this time.
Not long after, an elder with white hair and a youthful face opened his eyes. He glanced at the people on the screen and reached out to stroke his beard.
âI didnât expect those ants from the Kunlun Mountains to give us prey again. How many should we kill this time?â
The other five elders opened their eyes when they heard this.
They glanced at the screen and sneered.
âBack then, those ancient experts of the Kunlun Mountains thought that they could control us by sealing us here. However, they didnât know that this secret realm eventually became our tool. As long as we absorb the energy in the dantians of these low-level trash cultivators, we will eventually be able to recover our peak strength. Perhaps this batch will be the last.â
âAfter that, weâll tear this secret realm apart and inform the clan that this place is under our control!â
âThese ants want to fight back, but they donât know the vastness of the path of cultivation. The Supreme Emperor realm isnât anything special. If our clan hadnât let down our guard back then, would these people have survived?â
âForget it. Thereâs no need to talk about this anymore. The winner takes all. For now, we should think about how to take down these ants. I reckon that these people are the top geniuses of the Kunlun Mountains. Once we devour them, they will definitely suffer a great loss.â
As the elders of the Blood Spirit Clan discussed, one of them sensed something.
He stared at a corner of the screen, which was filled with a blood-colored mist.
The blood-colored mist shrouded everything, obscuring everything from view.
âEveryone, look! Why isnât there anything on that screen?!â
As soon as he finished speaking, six pairs of eyes shot towards the screen in the corner.
âHmm? This image is actually obscured, and our technique canât penetrate it? Whatâs going on?â
âCould it be that thereâs someone stronger than us?â
After all, they had set up an inescapable net to monitor everything in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.
However, now one of the screens seemed to have been blocked by an invisible force, and they had no way of detecting what was happening inside.
It was too strange.
The elder with white hair and a youthful face also noticed the scene. He pondered for a moment and said, âThis personâs strength is above ours? Impossible! Itâs just a blood-colored mist. At most, Iâll just push it away!â
As soon as he finished speaking, the elder stretched out his hand and forced out a drop of blood essence.
The blood essence continued to spread out, looking strange and enchanting.
In the end, it entered the screen and transformed into a pair of large hands that tried to push away the blood-colored mist.
âOpen!â
An invisible barrier was penetrated, and the scene began to clear up. They could vaguely make out the image of a young man sitting on a ferocious beast.
At this moment, Ye Chen and Little Gold naturally noticed the strange sounds in the sky. Little Goldâs expression changed slightly as it stared at the big hand in the sky. âWait a moment. There are experts trying to clear the mist and discover us!â
âIf we donât stop them, we will be exposed!â
Ye Chen also looked up and noticed the pair of large hands. He could feel an immense pressure enveloping him. Whoever was on the other side was extremely powerful!
âIt looks like itâs the people from the Blood Spirit Clan. Once our tracks are exposed, the consequences will be dire.â
Ye Chen wanted to meet these people, but he knew very well that he did not have much chance of winning against the Blood Spirit Clan in his current state.
Besides, he did not know much about this place, whereas the six Blood Spirit Clan members had been here since the secret realm was born, so they had the home ground advantage.
